Random quote of the day:
“The truth behind apparitions is, I fear, less like a problem to be solved than an initiation into a mystery; less like an investigation than a quest on which we must not be above taking tips from helpful old crones or talking animals in order to wrest the world transforming treasure from the dragon’s cave. We may even have to abandon our idea of truth altogether if we are to find it.”

Random quote of the day:
“We have come to expect explanations whenever anything mysterious occurs, and there was always an “expert” willing to oblige. No matter how ludicrous the expert’s explanation, we are usually satisfied because we would rather be assured that the mystery has been solved then give it a moment’s thought.”

Random quote of the day:
“The spirit of the fountain never dies.
It is called the mysterious feminine.
The entrance to the mysterious feminine
Is the root of all heaven and earth.
Frail, frail it is, hardly existing
But touch it; It will never run dry.â€
—Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, verse 7 (tr. John C. H. Wu)

Random quote of the day:
“The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.â€

Random quote of the day:
